Schools that are choosy with their secondaries?

It seems that a lot of schools just send secondaries to everyone who sends a primary as a regular part of their fundraising. Does anyone know which schools actually screen applicants, particularly in the top 30 or so?

Vanderbilt and the UCs.

Mayo is a bunch of bastards. But I think the school seems really cool.

Its terrible that many schools send secondaries to people they have no intention of interviewing even with good essays.

It would be a TERRIBLE economic decision to be selective in sending secondaries. Schools cost millions and millions of dollars to operate, I'm sure any sort of fund raising is very beneficial.

I second Wake. They are very selective with the secondary. They're even more selective with interviews. That's why 50% of interviewees get in.

The new 2009-2010 MSAR book lists which schools screen applicants before sending out secondary applications.
